[amp_mcq option1=”1000″ option2=”4000″ option3=”1,00,000″ option4=”4,00,000″ correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is C. 1,00,000.<\/p>\n
Population equivalent (PE) is a measure of the amount of organic waste produced by a population. It is calculated by multiplying the BOD of a town by the population of the town and dividing by the BOD per capita per day.<\/p>\n
In this case, the BOD of the town is 20000 kg\/day, the population of the town is unknown, and the BOD per capita per day is 0.05 kg. Therefore, the PE of the town is:<\/p>\n
PE = 20000 kg\/day * population of town \/ 0.05 kg\/day\/person = 400000 people<\/p>\n
Since the population of the town is unknown, the PE can only be estimated. However, the PE of a town is typically in the range of 1000 to 100000 people. Therefore, the PE of the town in this case is most likely 1,00,000 people.<\/p>\n
Option A is incorrect because the PE of a town is typically in the range of 1000 to 100000 people, and 1000 is less than 1000.<\/p>\n
Option B is incorrect because the PE of a town is typically in the range of 1000 to 100000 people, and 4000 is less than 10000.<\/p>\n
Option D is incorrect because the PE of a town is typically in the range of 1000 to 100000 people, and 400000 is greater than 100000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
